"When they come on base they are paid very little an in many cases they actually have to pay for internet access," says Georgia Representative Austin Scott.

As part of the NDAA lawmakers want to allot money to increase wireless internet coverage at military facilities. Scott says the move will support military training and operations as well as just make things easier for people on base.

"We want to treat it as a utility for our men and women in service and we want to take that cost of access the internet off the burden of our young airmen and soldiers," says Representative Scott.

The plan includes more than $23 billion dollars to repair and rebuild military buildings and infrastructure. Scott wants some of that money spent on expanding internet access for the people who defend our country.
